hi mindy
thank you for your interest in "the italian college".
we organize italian language and cookery workshops in dublin, ireland, but also in friuli venezia giulia, italy, where we offer art workshops as well (drawing, watercolours, modelling, mosaic, goldsmithing). we also provide our guests with accommodation in "vacation rentals" or b&b or friendly and cheap hotels. any of these guesthouses is provided with an appropriate venue for classrooms or workshops.

i do not think my english be so good. i learnt it at school, however, and i had the opportunity to practise it for a while with my mother, who was born in alberta, canada, from italian immigrants and then lived in los angeles 'til she was thirteen years old.

tell me more about your several works or dabbles, if you do not mind(y).

Ciao Tiberio e benvenuto. I corsi e tours che organizzi sembrano molto interessanti. So if someone wants to join, do they just make their own travel arrangements and arrive at the college, and you do the rest? like sorting out the accommodation etc ?

Hello Margery
Thank you for your welcome and Merry Christmans to you as well!
Ref. The Italian College programmes, if somebody wants to join we go and pick her/him up at the airport and drive her/him to the guesthouse, i.e. a b&b or an "agruturismo" or a not expensive and friendly hotel.

I do not wish to exaggerate with promotion ... even if it is difficult for me
not getting involved in something I really love, like my work.
Keep in touch and ... please visit every now and then The Italian College "Meeting point" forum as well!

i have in my mind an extravagant project: to start a program in the very north east of italy (friuli venezia giulia) with language and cookery courses, art workshops and art and eco-tours and then move the same class to the very south of italy (sicily)...
